> Sorama makes sound visible so teams can turn complex acoustic data into clear insight and act with confidence.

Sorama was founded in 2009 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Founder and CEO Rick Scholte started with a simple question: what if we could actually see sound? Today Sorama creates acoustic imaging technology used across industries where performance, safety, reliability, and experience are at stake.

## What Sorama Does

Sorama helps organizations detect, visualize, and interpret sound to:

- Find and quantify compressed air and gas leaks, reducing energy costs by 20–30%
- Prevent unexpected mechanical downtime by detecting early failures in rotating equipment
- Find building and product acoustic issues before they affect comfort or perceived quality
- Turn stadium and venue crowd sound into measurable fan engagement and sponsorship value
- Support noise compliance and environmental enforcement with clear acoustic evidence

## Industries Served

- **Hazardous environments** - oil and gas, chemical processing, hydrogen, energy, utility infrastructure
- **Industrial operations** - food and beverage, automotive, production lines, utilities, datacenters, manufacturing
- **Buildings and real estate** - hospitals, stadiums, high-rise commercial, residential portfolios, social housing
- **Sports and live venues** - venue operators, sports clubs, event organizers, commercial activation partners
- **Smart cities and public safety** - cities, police, airports, harbors, rail authorities, municipal infrastructure
- **Product development and research** - OEMs, design teams, universities, researchers, acoustic engineering groups

## Key Solutions

### Leak Detection
Identify compressed air and gas leaks quickly. Quantify energy loss and reduce operational costs by 20–30%. Applicable to industrial sites, hazardous environments, and regulated facilities.

### Condition Monitoring
Detect early mechanical failures in rotating equipment - bearings, motors, pumps, gearboxes - before breakdown occurs. Reduce unplanned downtime and maintenance costs.

### Acoustic Imaging for Buildings and Products
Visualize sound issues in building envelopes, HVAC systems, and physical products. Improve acoustic comfort, reduce hidden energy loss, and raise perceived quality.

### Sports and Venue Analytics
Turn crowd sound into real-time and historical data. Measure fan engagement, support sponsor activation, and improve the stadium experience.

### Environmental Noise Monitoring
Monitor and enforce noise compliance in cities, near infrastructure, and around industrial sites. Convert environmental sound into clear evidence for faster decisions.

## Technology

Sorama builds acoustic cameras - microphone arrays combined with proprietary algorithms that create high-resolution images of sound. This makes invisible sound fields visible, enabling precise localization and analysis.

The approach is proven in elite motorsport, one of the most demanding environments for sound-based insight, and applied across industrial, commercial, and public domains.
